Once the wedding was over, he along with his parents headed to the airport to fly back. Though his mother Jeannia Shamatt was worried whether he would be allowed on the flight home without the identification card, he was allowed after an hour’s interview that news website stated.

However, once back Shamatt received a package the following day with wallet and a note that read, “Found this on a Frontier flight from Omaha to Denver-row 12, seat F wedged between the seat and wall,” the note read. “Thought you might want it back.
